Interstrain transfer of the prophage ϕNM2 in staphylococcal strains

2018-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a successful pathogen in part because the bacterium can adapt rapidly to selective pressures imparted by the external environment. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays an integral role in the evolution of bacterial genomes, and phage transduction is likely to be the most common and important HGT mechanism for S. aureus. Phage can transfer not only its own genome DNA but also host bacterial...
